I don't know about Canada, but in Australia the big hardware stores and ladies' craft shops carry casting kits. They consist of a mix-up rubber solution that you pour over the original item. When it is dry you can peel it off and you have a permanent mold to produce dozens of replicas in epoxy resin.

I made one for Dodge nameplates and have done about 10 and the mold is still in good shape. Once painted you can not tell the difference but you need to spend some time either painting or polishing the original as it it duplicates every scratch and paint chip.
